HARRQW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,135, dated January10, 1882.

Application filed October 25, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, G. ADOLPHUS PADDOCK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Trenton, in the county of Dodge and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Harrows; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention consists of a novel construction of barrow, which will beunderstood by the following description and claim,

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of myimproredharrow. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same.

Upon a suitable frame, A B, are mounted two axles, O and D, the formerbeing supported on traveling wheels E. Attached to the axles O and D aresprocket-wheels F, over which run two endless chains, G. These chainscarry a series of drug-bars, H, provided with barrowteeth Las shown inFig. 2. By the above construction the chains and barrow-teeth revolve asthe harrow is drawn over the ground, and yet the wheels E hold thechains and barrow-teeth in check, so as to properly work the ground.

This harrow will constantly clear itself of weeds and all 'kinds oftrash, and the teeth cannot be broken by catching on stones or otherobstructions.

Instead of endless chains, belts may be used as equivalents therefor.

Havingdescribed my invention, what I claim is-- The herein-describedbarrow, consisting of the frame A B, having mounted therein two axles, OD, the front axle, 0, having supporting-wheels E, and sprocket-wheels Fmounted thereon, and the rear axle also provided with sprocket-wheels,and endless chains passing over said sprocket-wheels, and carrying aseries of drag-bars having teeth adapted to en.- gage the ground, theseveral parts arranged relatively to each other, substantially as shownv and described, whereby the endless chains are operated directlythrough the medium of the supporting-wheels, which also regulate theirrotation, as specified.

In testimony whereofl affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
